& Roll of Donors MICHAELMAS 2013
INTRODUCING THE NEW R ADCLIFFE SCHOLARS We are delighted to welcome the inaugural class of Oxford-Radcliffe Scholars to Univ. The Oxford-Radcliffe Scholarships have been made possible by a generous donation of £10m from a group of University College Old Members, which has been used to support postgraduate study and research across a range of subjects. Furthermore, the donation has already unlocked an additional £6.7m of funding from the University, and incorporates a challenge to Univ to attract a further £8m in donations in the coming years. The inaugural class of Oxford-Radcliffe Scholars are part of the continuing story of Univ Old Members supporting the next generation. The following have joined us this Michaelmas:
Eamon Byrne (2013, Clinical Medicine)
Graeme MacGilchrist (2013, Earth Sciences)
Jonathan Hadida (2013, Life Sciences)
Benjamin Martill (2013, International Relations)
You can read more about all four of our new Oxford-Radcliffe Scholars in the Report of Gifts & Roll of Donors – the second half of this special edition Newsletter.

WORD FROM THE MASTER Australia, Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong and the United States in the last year alone. In all my discussions with Old Members about the College it immediately becomes clear how important Univ is to them, not just as the place where they completed their degree, but as a period of their life that they still treasure, and that ultimately shaped their future. The cover article to this term’s Newsletter highlights the critical role that Old Members have played and will continue to play in the College’s development, regardless of the years that may have passed since their time here. Many students at Univ today would not be here without the generous student support and bursary schemes in place, and of course they would not receive an Oxford education without a tutorial system that is safeguarded by your continued support. We hope that you will now help us in our latest endeavour, which is to build a system of financial support for our expanding postgraduate community that is as substantial and comprehensive as the undergraduate bursary programme you have so generously helped us create.

his Michaelmas marks five T years since Lady Crewe and I moved into the Lodgings, and I began my tenure as Master at Univ. The five years have passed astonishing quickly and been enormously gratifying. Throughout my period at Univ I have been struck by the dedication of the Fellows and the ability of the students. It has been particularly gratifying to have played a part in the development of Univ’s graduate community, in the establishment of its outreach and access programme, in the College’s safe navigation through the treacherous currents of the global financial crisis and in the securing both of major gifts and record levels of giving. In the past year alone the College received the Radcliffe benefaction for graduate scholarships and successfully completed its campaign to endow the Hoffmann Fellowship in Law.
The Fellows and students of Univ join me in expressing their gratitude to all who supported the College in 2012/13. We hope that you appreciate this recognition through our annual roll of donors, published in the second half of this special edition newsletter. I look forward to all the opportunities to meet you across the course of this coming year, to share thoughts on the College and our current plans, and to thank you in person.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of my time so far as Master has been the opportunity to meet so many Old Members and Friends of the College. As well as Oxford and elsewhere in Britain, I have met alumni in

FAREWELL AFTER 43 YEARS’ SERVICE Photograph by Mim Saxl
Professor Michael Collins retired as Dean in the summer of 2013, following his retirement as Tutorial Fellow in Pure Mathematics in 2012. Michael has played a central role in the life of the College since his election to the Fellowship in 1970. In his 43 years at Univ he filled a vast array of College Offices, including Senior Tutor, Tutor for Admissions, Director of Undergraduate Studies, Financial Advisor, Secretary to the Governing Body, Senior Treasurer, Chairman of the SCR, Curator and Dean. His university career is equally as varied; one of his most
distinctive contributions was to build teaching links between the initially nascent Computer Science department and Mathematics, in which he chaired the committee that set up Oxford’s first undergraduate degree in Computer Science. Everyone at Univ wishes him well for a long and happy retirement with his grandchildren, children and wife Marjorie. A full tribute from Professor Bill Roscoe, Senior Research Fellow in Computer Science, is included in 2013 University College Record, which is available to read online at: http://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/content/univ-record-2013 2
Q& A WITH JOHN AUTHERS The Financial Times’ Senior Investment Columnist John Authers (1985, PPE) speaks to Rob Natzler (2011, PPE). Y ou have spent twenty-two years working with the Financial Times, and are now their Senior Investment Columnist. Did you always know you wanted to go into journalism, or was it something you fell into after Univ? I always wanted to go into journalism, ever since the age of 6. I remember watching Watergate and being fascinated by it. I was a very nosy kid, a bit of a political junky, so I suppose it was inevitable. Whilst at Oxford, I was a busy little hack; I edited the Oxford Student and the UnivOx – that was what we called the college magazine when I was here – and I wrote for everything, the Prospectus and the Bogsheet, and Cherwell as well. Y our most recent book, The Fearful Rise of Markets, has been described as one of the clearest accounts of why global markets failed in 2008. What do you see as the main cause of the crash? I don’t like the easy answer of saying that this is because people became too greedy. I think greed is a human constant, and I don’t think there was any sudden increase in greed levels just before the crash. In the past, greed has always been held in check by fear. What changed in the last thirty years was the evolution of market structures that diminished fear amongst investors and led them to take riskier, shorter term decisions than they otherwise would have done. So, in the last thirty years we’ve seen investment on the Stock Exchange go from an amateur’s game run by partnerships largely trading with their own money in the hope of ‘beating the market’, to being run by large institutions investing other people’s money with the aim of not supplying worse returns than their main competitors. Similarly, lending has gone from being handled by professionals in banks to being handled by the capital markets. Not only is this another principal/agent split, but it drove banks determined not to downsize and lay off employees into markets which they didn’t completely understand. At its core, the problem was caused by inefficiently priced markets: but it was the way that financial markets had become synchronised the world over that made it such a big one. And, at the end of the day, it was these principal/agent splits that enabled the problem to develop. ow likely do you think the prospect of a solution is, and who do you H think is most likely to bring it about – government, or the market? I’m not optimistic. The market isn’t about to change itself on this one: there’s the possibility of a change in payment structures in some hedge funds to incentivise a more long-term view, but demand from clients for this doesn’t seem to be high enough yet to make it a going prospect. As for government intervention, this issue is so complex, and one where if even a few governments follow self-interest to undermine the process the whole process will be undermined, that it’ll be very difficult to accomplish. It’s essentially a classic collective action problem: in the net interest to bring about change, but in every country’s interest to relax rules and invite in the riskier, higher-turnover banks behind the other country’s backs. That said, we saw global cooperation during the crisis, so I think it’s from government co-operation that our best hope for change comes. A new, better version of the Basel accords could work. And, on a lighter note, what are your best and worst memories of your time at Univ?
The worst? I’m ashamed to say that I once ran to be the College’s OUSU rep – I told you I was a little hack when I was here. The best, on the other hand – I was part of the highest-ever scoring team on University Challenge… The interview continues at www.univ.ox.ac.uk/alumni 3
ADMISSIONS FAQ As well as being Master of Univ, Sir Ivor Crewe is Chair of the University’s Admissions Committee, and a member of the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) Advisory Group. Old Members often ask him for advice on the Oxford admissions process, particularly on Univ’s admissions policies and procedures, and he is happy to give it. In the following article, the Master answers some of the more commonly asked questions.
standard and are ranked sufficiently high. Lower-ranked but strong candidates may be offered an interview by another college with places to spare. Some subjects arrange for all applicants summoned for interview to be seen by two colleges. Is it easier to get into Oxford by choosing one subject in preference to another? All subjects require outstanding academic ability for admission (e.g. at least 3 A grades in relevant A-levels in the humanities and social sciences; at least one A-star in the sciences). But the number of applicants per place ranges from 3 to 1 or less for classics, theology, music and modern languages to 10 to 1 or more for medicine, law, economics & management and mathematics and statistics.
What are the respective roles of the College and University? Does Univ or the University take the decision? All colleges subscribe to the Common Framework for Admissions, a university-wide set of principles, policies and procedures. Two of the most important university-wide principles are mentioned below. For example, the A-level or IB grade conditions set for an offer of a place in a specified subject will be common across all colleges. However, it is the College that judges the academic merit of candidates and on that basis selects the candidates to whom it will offer a place.
“ Interviews are informal and gentle, but searching. There are no trick questions.” What really counts in a college’s admissions decisions? Academic performance and potential, and nothing else, as revealed by candidates in their past examination performance (e.g. GCSEs), predicted A level and IB grades, personal statement, school reference, Oxford aptitude test or requested written work (for those subjects that require it), and interviews at the College. Most weight is put on the aptitude test and interviews, which are designed to reveal candidates’ verbal and numerical skills, sharpness of mind and powers of imagination, their potential and motivation to learn and their engagement with the subject for which they have applied.
Is it easier to get into Oxford by choosing one college in preference to another? No. A critical admissions principle is that no candidate for a place at the University should be advantaged or penalised by virtue of their college preference. ‘Games playing’ the choice of college is a pointless tactic. Candidates should choose colleges on the basis of their academic, cultural and social appeal.
“What really counts in a college’s admissions decisions? Academic performance and potential, and nothing else.”
How can applicants best prepare for the interview? By reading widely around their subject and by coming to their own views on the basis of what they have read and heard. Interviews are informal and gentle, but searching. There are no trick questions.
But how does that work in practice? The relevant subject Department categorises and rank orders applicants on the basis of their UCAS application and aptitude test scores or submitted written work into those meriting an interview, borderline cases, and those whose application is considered uncompetitive. Every college has an agreed number of places for each of the subjects it offers and a fixed quota of interviews per place to which it may summon candidates in December who have made the college their first choice. If the number of applicants meriting an interview exceeds the college’s quota of interviews – as can occur with popular colleges, including Univ – the lowerranked applicants are allocated to a different college for their interview to maximise the chance of good candidates being offered a place. The College ranks the candidates it interviews and offers the places it has available to those who meet the required
Does Univ lower its conditional offer of a place to candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds? No. The same conditional offer is made to all successful candidates for each subject, irrespective of their school or family circumstances. In recent years the University has taken social and educational disadvantage into account when deciding whether to summon candidates for interview, not at the expense of other candidates but by interviewing more applicants. Further information is available from the University admissions website (www.ox.ac.uk/admissions), the College’s website (www.univ.ox.ac.uk/ugapplicants), and advice can be obtained from Amy Sims, Admissions Manager (01865 276677; amy.sims@univ.ox.ac.uk).

DIGITAL ACCESS PROJECT Scheme and subject tutors. The resources fall into three main categories: supporting potential applicants to develop their reading beyond the school syllabus, encouraging them to take some of the many opportunities for intellectual development both on and offline, and illustrating student life at Univ to help debunk some of the myths that still put many bright students off aspiring to an Oxford education. Further information will be forthcoming in the next E-newsletter; in the meantime, watch this space!

We are pleased to inform Old Members of a significant development in the Schools Liaison and Access work of the College. The most recent Schools Liaison Strategy set out the aim to make Univ a leading College in digital outreach. Using what we have learned about effective schools liaison work from our face-to-face activities, the College has developed a collection of online resources to enhance current practice and extend the College’s reach beyond the limitations of what can be done in person. The resources are hosted on a website in the style of Univ’s popular Alternative Prospectus, and will be made public by the end of the year.
Another new aspect of our access work comes in the form of a special Gaudy on the 27th and 28th of June 2014, for Old Members who are currently working as teachers. At the event we will be discussing the University and the College’s schools liaison strategy, including recent developments in digital outreach. If you are a teacher but the College may be unaware of this, please email Rob Moss, Research and Database Officer at rob.moss@univ.ox.ac.uk so that we may include you in the invitation when it goes out in due course.

Dr Chris MacMinn has been appointed to a Special Supernumerary Fellowship whilst he holds the post of University Lecturer in Engineering Science. After earning his PhD from MIT, Chris has most recently been a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University, with his research focusing on the flow-driven deformation of porous materials. He is broadly interested in the impact of small-scale physical mechanisms on large-scale geophysical and environmental systems, with application to carbon sequestration, energy resources, hydrology, and geomechanics.
The Hilary Newsletter will feature details of Dr Lars Hansen’s arrival as a Tutorial Fellow in Geology, and Dr Standa Zivny’s return to Univ as a Special Supernumerary Fellow in Computer Science.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE The 2012/13 fundraising year was extremely successful for Univ, not only thanks to the anonymous £10m benefaction towards postgraduate scholarships, but also in our Annual Fund. £829,000 was raised in new gifts and pledges, with 34% of Old Members, over 2200, making a donation. We are also pleased to announce that the College has now reached its target of £1.2m to endow the Hoffman Fellowship in Law in perpetuity, in doing so unlocking a further £800,000 of funds from the University. Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising initiatives in the past year. 2013/14 sees the launch of the 1249 Society, a new giving society at Univ with gifts and special events for supporters of the College at a particular level. Please see page 3 of the following Report of Gifts for a full explanation of the society’s benefits and membership structure. 5
Q& A WITH KEVIN HARTZ Photograph by Eventbrite
Isabel Richards (2009, Physics and Philosophy) interviews Kevin Hartz (1992, History), entrepreneur and early stage investor, and co-founder of the online event planning platform Eventbrite. Y ou read History. Has that background or type of learning helped or hindered you in your career in the tech industry? I think there are two attributes that I walked away with from my experience at Univ. The first is a solid combination of critical thinking, analysing, and understanding. The second is a certain rigor, which, whatever profession one enters, is crucial. Univ was extremely powerful in preparing me for the challenges ahead. I also learned about the importance and benefits of surrounding myself with very bright and driven people while at Oxford. In fact, I think Silicon Valley and Oxford are very similar in that they both provide this opportunity. The other thing I learned studying History at Univ is how the patterns of history can help us in shaping our future. History is heavily influenced by human nature and you know the old saying that you see the same patterns happen over and over – despite this feeling that you’re inventing the future; the tech space is surprisingly very similar. For example, the PC revolution came and disrupted the old mainframe industry and Microsoft grew to prominence during this period. Now, you see Microsoft in disarray as the mobile revolution disrupts the PC space. So you see a lot of the same patterns and being able to apply these and take in certain attributes to apply to one’s own entrepreneurial pursuits is extremely powerful. H ow did the idea of starting a business first occur to you? When did that come along and how? I started my first business in college so I think the entrepreneurial passion is something that was engrained fairly early on. I didn’t follow the typical patterns that a lot of my Stanford classmates majoring in history followed of going into banking or consulting. There is certainly a lot of sense in this, especially when it’s not always clear what to do with a history degree. If you are not going to go into academia or apply your physics directly, the safe and direct path is to fall into finance or consulting, but I chose to go a different route. our current enterprise, Eventbrite, enables people to sell tickets for Y their events online. Where did the idea start? Eventbrite could be explained as a place to buy tickets online but I think if you zoom out a bit we really think a lot about bringing people together through live experiences, and the value of that in the real world. Social networking companies spend a lot of time thinking about how to get people to build their social graph and digital connections, but we really think about face-to-face interactions and there is a lot of power and benefit in doing that. The trend that we’ve seen is that technology is not isolating, as we once thought – instead of it being something where we are locked in front of our computers all day, people are using technology to find and discover their interests, and connect with people. You do it to be entertained, you do it to learn something new, whether it be picking up a new skill in a class or challenging yourself in an endurance race, or being entertained by great live music. hat would your advice be to someone who is leaving Univ now and W wanting to start a business?
One is to find mentors, and that is what the Oxford education gives you – you have your tutor – and it’s very important to find the right people where there is the right chemistry and that can help you develop. I would say that earlier in my career, one of my mistakes was not surrounding myself as much with mentors as I have in recent times. The second is to find smart minds; one of the reasons I’ve invested in companies such as Airbnb and Pinterest is to be around these very bright minds and share ideas and have a support network… The interview continues at www.univ.ox.ac.uk/alumni 6

EVENTS ROUND-UP Univ played host to a wide range of alumni events in recent months, both in Oxford and further afield. The summer began with members of UCBC past and present coming together for Summer Eights, the Master’s Garden Party and the Boat Club Dinner on 25th May. Lizzie German (2010), UCBC President, said “we were delighted to see so many Old Members back to enjoy the Garden Party, and to help us celebrate a successful year for UCBC with Eights Dinner”. In June, the Univ community came together in Belgium for the Brussels Dinner, hosted by Peter Dean (1954) and with a talk from Sir Ivor Crewe, Master, on ‘Why is Britain Badly Governed?’. Back in Oxford, a new portrait of Univ Old Member and Honorary Fellow Festus Mogae (1965), former President of Botswana, was unveiled on 8th June. On 21st June, the College went under transformation Sophie Stephens (2005) and Dr Tom Bartlett for a ‘night of contrasts’ at the Jekyll & Hyde themed (1951) at the Alumni Drinks Reception Univ Ball, and across the Atlantic in July, Sean Denniston (1987) hosted the fourth annual Univ DC Area Picnic. Two alumni sporting fixtures featured at either end of our summer events season. In June, Matt Berry (1995) skippered the Univ Old Members XI against the current College cricket team. Despite a century from Richard Guy (1972), this year the student XI came out on top. In September, the USPGA held their autumn meeting, with Eric Cooper (1964) hosting at the Wildernesse Club in Sevenoaks. Mark Timpson (2007) was the overall winner, adding to his victory at Swinley Forest in February. September featured numerous anniversaries and reunions. On 17th September, the 1953 cohort celebrated their Diamond Anniversary, and the following day the Univ Rhodes Community came together from across the world to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Rhodes Scholarships programme. The Master hosted a drinks reception in his Lodgings for over 100 Old Members on 21st September, and we then welcomed matriculands from 1984–87 for their Gaudy on 28th September. Abi Graham (1984) commented that “I came away thinking how lucky I was to be part of it all”. The day after these celebrations saw the 1963s arrive in late summer sunshine for their Golden Anniversary Reunion, with events including a tour of the Botanic Gardens and a symposium on ‘Past and Future Reflections’.

Sir Ivor Crewe and William Roth were on 1963 Golden Anniversary Reunion the road again in October, travelling to Scotland for the Univ Society Edinburgh Dinner, in the beautiful surroundings of St Leonard’s Hall. The UK’s energy supply was the topic of discussion at the Annual Seminar on 26th November at London’s Royal Society, with a buffet supper following a panel debate chaired by Professor Gideon Henderson.

THE COLLEGE FINANCIALS From Frank Marshall, Estates Bursar For everyone, the period since the end of the credit boom in 2007 has been challenging. In the College, we have been focusing on protecting and strengthening our academic provision for the medium term. This has entailed restraint in many areas, including in salaries, and a transfer of resources from the Domestic side of our activities to the Academic side. The result is that we have not suffered the disruption that comes when academic appointments have to be deferred but rather have been able to keep our academic capacity intact and also to pursue with vigour, newer needs like dedicating additional staff to schools liaison and access work. On the investment side, we had a total return on our investments (after expenses) of 9.2% in the year to 31/7/2013, bringing the rate of total return since the end of the boom (taken to be 31/7/2007) to 5.2% per annum annualised. As our expenditure (expressed as a propor tion of capital) averaged 3.6% per annum in the same period, we have kept our heads above water, though in this period it has not been possible to cover price inflation as well. However, as mentioned above, our own cost inflation has been very subdued in this period. The coming challenge is capital expenditure, in the first instance on the major refurbishment of the Goodhart building. This will provide facilities that meet current expectations rather more fully than we have been able to do hitherto – the room with en suite facilities will cease to be such a rarity. The cost will be substantial, but in this low-interest rate environment, capital has to be put to work. The College has had marvellous suppor t from Old Members through these more difficult years and without that suppor t, the College’s activities could not have been as resilient as they have been in the new conditions post-2007. The moral and financial suppor t of Old Members is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

2012/13 ANNUAL FUND From Ellie Brace, Annual Fund Manager The Annual Fund, now in its thirteenth year, continues to lie at the heart of everything the College does. Univ’s tutorial system, student bursaries and scholarships, the research of our Fellows and the restoration of our historic site are all possible with your generous annual support. The 2012/13 Annual Fund was one of the most successful to date, with £829,274 donated in new gifts. More than 2,200 Old Members across the world, 34%, made a gift to the College. This year also saw 58 members of the 2013 graduating class making a gift as part of the Leavers’ Appeal. We are extremely grateful to them, not only for their participation, but for their instant acknowledgment that many of their experiences at Univ were made possible by the generosity of its Old Members. In the coming year, the launch of the 1249 Society will recognise and thank the Annual Fund’s most generous supporters in more ways than before. Those contributing to Univ above a particular level will be invited to exclusive events, as well as receiving a commemorative gift from the College. The following section explains the membership levels in detail. We look forward to welcoming many new members to this society in the summer of 2014. Whether you have recently graduated or did so more than 50 years ago; whether 2012/13 saw your first gift to the College or you have been a loyal supporter for decades, thank you all for choosing to support us in the last year.
The 1249 Society This year Univ are launching a new giving society, the 1249 Society, to recognise and thank the Annual Fund’s most generous supporters, and to encourage more Old Members than ever before to join our community of donors. There are various membership levels according to age, with amounts based on the College’s founding year, 1249. The full membership structure, and monthly breakdown, is outlined below. Age range 30 and above Under 30 Leaving students

“ As my scholarship comes to an end, I want to express my gratitude to the Class of ’58 for the three years’ funding I have received. It has enabled me to conduct my DPhil research with much greater ease, and also with greater peace of mind. I know that I would not have been able to get comparable expenses funded elsewhere, and the scholarship has been extremely useful to me. Thank you all!” Jessica Lazar (2009, English)

“I was born in Edinburgh and spent my school life at George Watson’s College. An undergraduate degree in mathematics at Newcastle University was followed by an MSc in oceanography at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton before my current pursuit of a DPhil in Physical Oceanography in the Department of Earth Science. In the years since leaving school, I have spent a number of summer months working for an orphanage in Kolkata, India. I am a keen rugby player and hope to find some time to play in between my studies. I am excited to start my research and look forward to the coming years in Univ and Oxford.” Gr aeme Macgilchrist (2013, Earth Sciences)

“ After my recent Gaudy I decided to increase my monthly donations to Univ. Why was that? Partly because experiencing ‘my Univ’ – contemporaries and Emeritus Fellows all together in one place again – made me want to help make sure others could be as lucky as I had been. Just as importantly, conversations with the current Fellows, the Master and the Development team gave me confidence that the Univ of today is being run well. I can’t give a lot, but I have also included the College in my Will and I’m happy that Univ is now my main charity.” Abigail Gr aham (1984, Classics)

“ After completing my BSc in Government at LSE, I began my MPhil at St Antony’s College two years ago, researching into the domestic politics of AngloAmerican relations. Though these were productive years, I had to work many jobs to pay for the fees and living costs, and the cumulative impact was a reduction in the level of time I could devote to my thesis. Receiving the Oxford-Radcliffe Scholarship from Univ, however, has changed all of this – I am now free to dedicate all of my attention to the attainment of knowledge. This is a unique situation for me, and I am excited to think about the research I can conduct thanks to Univ’s generous support”.

“ Originally from Paris, I graduated last year from a five-year dual Masters degree programme; from Telecom Bretagne in France I obtained an MSc in Telecommunications, and from ETS in Canada an MEng in IT. My research focused on the problem of medical image registration, and it led to the presentation of two scientific papers in major international conferences in the field. After completing this programme, I moved to Princeton, NJ for a year and worked at Siemens Corporate Research. My fully-funded position at the Doctoral Training Center at Oxford (Oxford-Radcliffe & EPSRC) is a real privilege and my commitment to becoming a valuable collaborator in the Life Sciences Interface programme this year could not be greater.� Jonathan Hadida (2013, Life Sciences) Wendy Heppell Ian Jackman Samuel Keppel-Compton Brian Kilcoyne William McEnchroe Richard Meade Helena Miles James Millard Sean Newsom Marcus Rule Mandy Season Ruth Shannon Mark Tolley Barnaby Wiener Josie Wood Ken Zetie Anonymous (6)

“ Oxford provided me with both a rigorous intellectual grounding, and that ultimate philosophical experience: an argument with a professor of jurisprudence about the nature of angels. Such a challenging university needed to be tempered with the friends and practical support that Univ provided. Many more Australians would benefit from a similar education – hence my support of scholarships for Australians to pursue postgraduate studies based at Univ. As a well-trained lapsed lawyer, I donate via the Oxford Australia Scholarship Fund hosted at the ANU, which qualifies for an Australian tax deduction.” John Daley (1995, Law) Chris Lewis Nick Linton Gillian Lord Simon McCarthy Dan McNeill Mark O’Neill Crispin Payne Alexander Payton Tara Pepper Goldsmith Jon Pratt Eleanor Purser Stewart Reid Nico Sanders Emma Satyamurti Ian Scott Jacob Sharpe Andrew Sweeting Dan Thompson Patrick Tomlinson Rosi Watson

“ I’m originally from Brisbane, but in 2007 moved south to the University of Melbourne to complete a double degree in Science (Chemistry and Biochemistry) and Arts (Mandarin and History). At the end of 2009, several friends and I founded a not-for-profit organisation called Teachabout Inc. to run educational and cultural school holiday programs for children in remote communities of Australia. Academically, I am most proud of my honours year at the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, in which I investigated the transmembrane interactions of MARCH9, a protein involved with a range of key immune system components.

“ The 2013 Leavers’ Appeal took the form of a barbecue, with speeches from Univ Old Members and staff of the Development Office. Through this event and through being a student caller at the annual Telethon, I realised that graduating from Univ does not mean leaving Univ behind, but becoming part of a widespread network of Old Members that continue to form an important part of Univ’s community.

LEAVING A LEGACY TO UNIV Making provision for Univ in your will is a particularly personal and thoughtful way of supporting the College. Legacies have been and continue to be an enormously important source of funds for the College; indeed, were it not for William of Durham’s foresight and legacy gift that was realised in 1249 to support scholars in Oxford, Univ may not be here today. The William of Durham Club recognises the generosity of those who have made a future provision for Univ, and meets annually for a luncheon in College. While we hope these gifts will not be realised for years to come, we give thanks today to all those listed below, and those who have chosen to remain anonymous, for their quiet generosity.
“ Nearly sixty years ago I arrived at Univ. in the dark of night, escorted through quads and up and down stairways to the top of Durham Buildings in Logic Lane, not knowing what was awaiting me. Lasting friendships and professional connections begun in those two years continue today. The College fostered those relationships while guiding my basic legal education. It’s been a privilege to return frequently to Univ. and to contribute annually. I like knowing that my appreciation for the College will continue through a bequest in my Will, via the American Friends of University College.” John Morrison Obe (1955, Law)

MAKING A GIFT IN 2013/14 SINGLE AND REGULAR GIFTS Single gifts can be made by cheque or credit/debit card. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and valued; even the most modest of donations not only show your loyalty to Univ but collectively make a vital contribution to the College. Regular gifts can be set up for a period of one to four years, on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. They are of great benefit to Univ as they provide a guaranteed flow of income to the College for the medium term, and enable you to spread the cost of your gift. Your single or regular gift can be made: Online – The quickest and easiest way to give is just a few clicks away at our website, www.univ.ox.ac.uk/give. By Post – Send a cheque to the address at the back of this publication, or complete and return a gift form. By Phone – Call the Development Office on +44 (0)1865 286208 TA X-EFFICIENT GIVING In the UK – If you are a UK taxpayer, through GiftAid we can increase the value of your gift by 25%, at no extra cost to you. For example, a regular gift of £50 a month can be worth £3000 to Univ over a four-year period. Monthly gift

“ I very much enjoyed reading jurisprudence at Univ, but having come from a highly endowed US university, even back then I was acutely aware that the College was lacking funds. Now that I am in a position to give back, I am very happy to be able to contribute an annual gift to Univ and particularly to support the Hoffman Fellowship. Further, being based in France, the possibility to donate via the Foundation of France has also allowed me to claim a tax credit against my French taxes, which is a great fiscal advantage for anyone considering donations from abroad.” Ariadne Plaitakis (1995, Law)
MAKING A MAJOR GIFT If you are interested in making a gift of £25,000 or more, please contact Martha Cass, Major Gifts Manager, tel 01865 276791 or email martha.cass@univ.ox.ac.uk GIFTS OF SHARES Giving via shares is one of the most tax efficient ways of making a charitable gift. As such, it is a great way to support Univ and may enable you to do more for the College than you could via a cash donation. You do not have to pay Capital Gains Tax on any shares you give, and you can write off the full value of your gift against your tax liability in the year when you give the shares. For more information, contact the Development Office, or visit: http://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/content/tax-efficient-giving LEGACY GIVING There are a variety of types of legacy that can be left to Univ, including residuary and pecuniary legacies, and gifts-in-kind.

VOLUNTEERS 2012/13 Over the course of one year, the wide range of events and activities co-ordinated by the Development Office would simply not be possible without the reliable help and support of many Old Members and students. Whether it be serving on committees, providing advice, helping to organise and encourage attendance at events, or assisting our fundraising efforts, we are very grateful to the following individuals who have given up their valuable time and expertise in 2012/13.
“ 2013 marked the fiftieth anniversary of my matriculation at Univ, and to mark this milestone I chaired the Golden Anniversary committee. With several of my friends we organised a reunion weekend in September and set up the 1963 Bursaries and Access Fund. We were delighted with the generous response from the year group, helping us raise £35,000 to assist Univ’s next generation of undergraduates. The event itself was blessed with good weather and was a wonderful experience (some of us even found ourselves back on a punt!), reminding us all how much Univ has shaped our lives.” Ron Jordan (1963, History), Chair of the 1963 Golden Anniversary Committee
